My understanding is that elements do not have used values, only boxes do. (At least that’s how WeasyPrint implements it.) Also note that one element can generate multiple boxes (list item + maker, table + wrapper, fragmentation across pages, columns, …) and these boxes may have different used values for the same properties. If you’re tempted to pretend that list item markers, table wrappers or pages can be ignored, consider the used height of a block fragmented in a multi-column context. Each fragment could have a different height. Used values on elements do not make sense. -- Simon Sapin
